Researchers from the University of Birmingham, University of Manchester, and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) are developing new technology that combines internet-of-things (IoT) sensor arrays and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to measure and detect pollen and fungal spores in the air. This technology could improve current detection techniques which can be slow and expensive, and could lead to interventions that reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses. Professor Francis Pope from the University of Birmingham commented that better detection and forecasting of pollen and fungal spores would allow for interventions to be developed that would reduce their risk to human health.
